BillingtonPix - vintage style retro designs

In Love with 80s Memphis Style I've created an 80s Memphis Style collection on my BillingtonPix Society6 store . What is Memphis Style? 80s Postmodern abstract shapes and flat colors juxtaposed together. Most people either love or hate it. The designs of the 1980s weren't particularly suited to work very well together, tended to clash and were quite hard to integrate with existing furniture. More recent designs tend to have a more toned down look, but not always.  Check out my 80s Memphis collection on Society6

I've uploaded some Memphis style Save the Date invitation postcards to my Zazzle shop. They are quite cute I think, and definitely of a different style. They come with an envelope and are perfect as party or engagement party save the date invitations. The entire collection can be found in the Memphis Designs collection of my shop. If you don't know what Memphis Style is I've got a little explainer against each product. But it was created by the Memphis Group in the 1980s as a reaction against the post war designs which were deemed too formulaic. The founding members of the Memphis Group were Ettore Sottsass, Nathalie Du Pasquier and Michele de Lucchi. Memphis style follows no rules and is quite anarchic I think. It mixes together lots of different styles, colors and shapes that really should not be mixed.  https://www.zazzle.co.uk/store/billingtonpix Save the Date Invitation Template Pink Abstract 80s Memphis Style Save the Date Invitation by BillingtonPix ...

Here are a few stickers I have created on Zazzle. You can find my sticker collection here too.  I love Memphis design, which comes from the 1980s and was a foil against the more formulaic post war designs that preceded. It kind of aims to shock with its bright colors and bold shapes. Love it or loathe it - it is quite a controversial design movement and I didn't use to care for it much. However these days I've come to realise how much it is has grown on me. What do you think of postmodern design like this? Do you like or hate it?
